#Vaccine & #PublicHealth experts said the statement from #HHS is a combination of #misinformation & exaggeration or #misrepresentation of scientific studies. [IOW #Lies]

“To make a blanket statement like that, I think that would go against the #science,” said Sean O’Leary, a #pediatric #infectious #diseases physician & chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ [#AAP] committee on infectious diseases.

So now you don't have to be qualified even during an interview. 👀

What could go wrong?

"Game Design in the Shadow of Genocide | Rasheed Abueideh" [ ± 1min]
by PalestineDeepDive

Quote by PDD:
"Jan 12, 2025
Rasheed Abueida is a Palestinian game designer from a village near Nablus in the West Bank. He gained international recognition with his game “Liyla and the Shadows of War”, which tells the story of a young girl and her father navigating a decimated Gaza during the Israeli aggression of 2014.
Despite initial attempts from Apple to censor the game, Rasheed and supporters of his art fought for its inclusion which was eventually successful."

I'm still processing the breakup from Siren.

Our relationship was dead before it had begun, because it was all based on misrepresentation.

Polyamory and BDSM are both based on being honest with one another.

I had left the door open a crack with my last message to them, but I think any further relationship is impossible.

In their ultimate proposal to me, they managed to grab a shovel and dig themselves into a hole so deep that I think it is impossible to crawl out of it.

They ended up in a situation where my reply would be "were you misrepresenting yourself then, or are you misrepresenting yourself now?" Either way, that's misrepresentation, and it is caustic to polyamory and BDSM.

I'm glad we had our time together. After my previous intimate encounter that turned out to be a disaster, I needed a boost. I got it. Our sex was amazing. I did tell them that I've felt this level of sexual compatibility with only three people, and they were number three. They actually agreed with me that we were "startlingly compatible." (Their words.)

Their last message to me was replete with excuses about their mental health, and telling me that their therapist and Dom (in Seattle) said. At the end of the day, it matters little, what they consider the ultimate cause to be. If you are structurally liable to misrepresent yourself, you're not compatible with me.

End of story.

Biden launches police state crackdown at US universities

The Biden administration, in alliance with the fascist-led Republican Party, is criminalizing political opposition to the Gaza genocide, the greatest war crime of the 21st century.

Bad form to Sevenoaks and Swanley Liberal Democrats for putting out something purporting to be a local newspaper called 'Sevenoaks and Swanley Gazette' containing their messaging. This is very misleading and could confuse elderly people. This makes me LESS likely to vote for them, not more. Is this happening elsewhere in the country?

has anyone heard more about #MadInAmerica’s change petition to get the #APA’s American #Journal of #Psychiatry to #retract the STAR*D #fraudulent #misrepresentation of an inflated 67% remission rate, (in fact closer to 35%, and “Only 3% of the 4041 patients who entered the trial had remitted and then stayed well and in the trial to its end.”)?

seems this deserves more visibility in the press. 67% becoming 3% seems like #JohnOliver territory. #prozac #fluoxetine #fraud

madinamerica.com/2023/10/the-a

the first three paragraphs in a screen capture from the Mad In America article from October 28, 2023 by Robert Whitaker, titled “The American Journal of Psychiatry’s Answer to MIA: A Silence that Speaks Volumes”, showing, “On September 9, Mad in America set up a petition on change.org urging the American Journal of Psychiatry to retract its 2006 article that told of a 67% remission rate in the STAR*D trial. The case for doing so was straightforward: In August, Ed Pigott and colleagues, having obtained patient-level data through the “Restoring Invisible and Abandoned Trials” initiative, published a paper in BMJ Open that told of how the remission rate in that trial was actually 35%. In their paper, they detailed the various protocol violations that the STAR*D authors had employed to inflate the remission rate to nearly double that number.
In our MIA Report on the STAR*D scandal, we told of how the call to retract the 2006 paper presented American psychiatry with a defining moment:
The American Psychiatric Association, and the international community of psychiatrists, could take a great step forward in regaining public trust if they spoke out about the STAR*D fraud and requested a retraction of the published articles. Doing so would be an action that told of a profession’s commitment, as it moves forward, to uphold research standards, and to provide the public with an honest accounting of the “evidence base” for psychiatric drugs.

Please consider:
1. Prison abolition means killing the cop in your head, and not policing the people around you.

2. Growth mindset means giving people opportunities to grow. It means seeking rehabilitation rather than punitive/retributive justice.

3. Drawing boundaries means defining limits for yourself — not for other people. Boundaries are for *your* actions, not for demanding what others will and won't do.

4. Compassion means giving people space to grow or not. Protecting yourself doesn't mean attacking. Let the facts speak for themselves.

5. If you highlight only some facts and not others, you're either unaware of a gap in your understanding — or actively creating bias. Misrepresentation and bias can come from omission as well as from saying things that aren't true.

For some reason, Bellingcat hasn't linked to this article of theirs yet here on Mastodon. Here's their intro:

As the situation escalates in Israel-Palestine, misinformation is rife. It can be difficult to decipher what is really happening and what is not. Our team has gathered examples of misrepresented footage and imagery from the latest conflict, helping you tell facts from fiction.

@ElBeeToots @parigotmanchot @obeto thank you! Apologies to OP, who did NOT add the narrative.

Yet, the spin on the bylines are entirely separate and do not really show "white privilege" at all. That spin is added by the person who put the 2 stories in the one frame... #misrepresentation
